Indian Names and Frog Language.

The MOntauks were powerful tribe OG Indians, but although their time was largely taken up with making shell money and stringfng 1t together, they were not nOtoriOusly wealthy. Their wampum was worth more after it had worked its way inland than 1t was. on MOntauk Point, where any fool could sit down and grind out $1 900 in cold and clammy cash in one afternoon. On pleasant days they rowed across the sound, gave the Pequots an everlasting wa1oping, and In the evening returned to their sQuaws, their mus quitoes, their shell heaps and their names. Language in the old days must have been onalnatopoetic; the meaning must have been evidenced in the sound, and gentle men who sat up nights making names for Long Island summer resorts must have been influenced by the tree toads and frogs that abound there.
 Talk of the chorus in "The Frogs'' Of Aristophanesi Say over these Indian names few times and see how incapable the Greek is compared to Montauk ''In- jun." The little frog says ''Mattituck, ''Speonk," pipes the tree toad, the bull frog grumbles ''Patchogue" and the swamps and woods become vocal with "Quogue, /" "Pon Quogue," "Cutchogue," "Yaphank," ''Peconic,'' 'tSagg," ..Co-: mao, Y" Shinnecock, v. " Napeague, !" "Aquebogue." Still these Indian names are pleasant, and much to be desired above the S1nithtoWns and Jonesvilles, where with the face of this land is covered. James Russell Lowell does not believe in Indian nomenclature, but he is dis gruntled because his native town is Pigs gusset.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Ars Of Comversing.

The reason why many who converse are dull, is our fault, not theirs; our bearing, because we have not learned the art of patiently listening, restraints and embaf- rasses them. Were we more respectful and benevolent the tongue of the one sneakina M would disentangle itself, and give us many treasures of head and heart.
 Hence, in conyersing, we should never seem to feel toward the one speaking tlaRt we are perfectly acquainted with every thing he is saying or can sayi that kills his glow, and we shall shortly have for ai companion ae6tick or stone.
 Hence, also, when our interiors. are speaking, we should never put words into their lips. Start the mass of men; then, while the glow ana Gow, are upon them, preserve dead silence; you will shortly have poured into your ears all the best things they know. When you have given even an unedueated, If intelligent, man the impression that you have become his interested listener, he win give you yalu7 able thoughts not found in your books and schools. With the utmost magnanimity we must tolerate occasional dullness and learn to listen for profit, if not from prin- eiple. The self denial involved, OF the dis eoveaSes made, will, at length, convert the hours talk into an hour charged at least with discipline, and perhaps with tho most serHioeahle information. ''When man ceases not the exchange of ciyihties, 1" says the Chinese proverb, ''there is noth-; ing he may not possess" Wise, too, Is the Turkish proverb: "Many are ignorant through want of. knowledge how to lis ten ," When in doubt, therefore, one will do well to inquire the way of. everybody he meets; for at least every other man, though in humble life, has a clew, or a erOss cut or some item of information of which we are iRnorant.-ProfeA.cr cr Towns-

BeautY im Rrimdisi.

The colors of Brindisi, like its latitude, are south tropical. Even on & dull day we could enjoy the olives and pinks and light greens and grays of the houses. At distance they are white, but close at hand the illusion goes. Then the dress of the people is as vivid as the tone of their lustrous skin or their fine black eyes. The men, for the most part, go about in blue blonses, with little or nothing under meath; but the women coruscate with necklets of metal and glass, and are as gay as rainboWs besides in parti coloIed cotton and wool. The lasses loved being sketched, moreover. They stuck their plump arms akimbo, set themselves we'll on their legs and stood like things of brass as long as they were asked to stand. It was pretty again to see them in the market place, sitting in the midst of great heaps of vivid oranges. But as hueksters they are 8 little importunate, and it Is not every man that would feel at ease with the arms of 8 siren beautiful as Gle Opatra tight around his neck beseeching him to buy. Again, not every one can admire the association Of tobacco ? and beauty; and yet some of these pretty girls sat demure, with pipes in their mouths All the Year Round

A London MYRtNrY.

London is 8 place of mysteries. Look ing out of one of the windows at the back of Dr. Fothergill's house saw an ina- msnse wooden blind, such as we have on our windows in summer, but reaching from the ground as high as the top of the neighboring houses. While admitting the air freely, it shuts the property to which it belonged completely from sight. asked the meaning of this extraordinary strue- ture. and learned that it was put up by 8 great nobleman, of whose subterranean palace and strange seelusion had before heard. Common report attributed his unwilingness to be seen to disdguring malady with which he was said to be af- flicted. The story was that he was visible only to his valet. But & lady of quality, whom met in this country, told me she had seen him, and observed nothing to justify 1t. These old countries ara full of romances and legends and diableries of all sorts, in which truth and lies are so mixed that one does not know what to believe. What happens behind the high walls of the old cities is as much secret as were the doings inside the prisons of the inqui- sition.-Dr. Holmes in The Atlantic.

A recent issue of The Arizona Howler contains the following personal explana- tion: "Ws must apologize for the wretch ed appearance of The Howler this week, as we have been utterly unable to do the paper justice. Our wife arrived from the east early in the week, and in- stead of fighting 1t out with the lady we married since coming to this place, they both fell upon us and pounded us very nearly to jelly.

Sacred Song Is of All creeds.

But it Is in our worship, more than any where else, that we come closest to the one universal church. In the liturgies of churches, the old Romish forms have be- queathed their choicest prayers and praise their Glorias, Te Deums and anthems. We unconsciously, in our dsyotions, use the unsurpassed passages of the Litany and collects and prayers of our Episcopal brethren We sing Wesley's hymns in Calyinistic churches and many devout Methodist breathes out his faith in the evangelical hymn, My Faith Looks up to Thee.n We love to raise our voices to the words of Sts. Bernard and Francis Xavier, found in our Presbyterian hymn books.

 At the pleasant little village of Alphar- etta, Ga., a family reunion of 8 romantic character has taken place. In 1865 John Holloway, the son of substantial farmer. concluded to go out into the world and seek his fortune. Soon letters from him ceased to arrive, and the old folks mourned him as lost, As the years passed by and
 no tidings of the lost oIae were received, the opinion became confirmed that he must surely be dead. The father and mother took comfort in the other children and tried to forget the one who was absent ... On Tuesday, Sept. 18th, the couple were to celebrate their golden wedding. The neighbors had gathered, and as the dinner
 hour approached Mrs. Holloway expressed
 her sorrow that the one missing chair could
 not be filled ''If John were only here, !" said she, ''I would feel that could go." The table was set 0lt in the yard, under
 the limbs of an aged live oak tree, and the guests were seated around it. Just then a
 wagon appeared in view, containing gem
 tleman with 8 heavy black beard, lady
 and four children. The mother's intuition
 at once recognized her long lost son. He
 had returned, he said, with his wife and
 children, because as the day drew near up-
 on which his parents would have been 90 years married he felt strongly impelled to
 do so. He was now one of the largest
 faymers near Rulo, Neb. There he he'd
 married, and now, with his family he de-
 sired to join the happy circle. The clergy
 man asked the blessing with increased
 unction, and the feast passed oil happily.

Two old worthies, Donald M'Tavish and Sandy Jamieson, the former retired
 hedger and ditcher, and the latter bellman, both inhabitants of small village ill the northeast district of Pertshire, having for
 gathered one morning at the '"Toonheid, ," as the north end of the village was gen. erally termed, got into conversation. Af- ter fully discussing the signs of the wealth
 or and the state of the crops, the talk drift
 ed to the subject of food, and as they had both inst finished breakfast, the one ad- dressed the other with the remark :- A"Weel, Sandy Shamieson, gin she wid ia queen, fat wad she'll haf for preakfasht efery mornin'?'' "Weel, Donal', think wad hae tea an laif-bread but If ye wis
 the queen, what wad ye hae for breakfast milk porridge an crane efery mornin' fatefer." ''Ah! Donar, Donal', but ye

 ! A writer in the Covenant makes some I observations on the frequent bad issue of attempts at Congregational singing which
 are worthy of consideration. He empha- sizes the fact that in congregational sing
 ing ''the tunes must be familiar" And
 this leads to the remark, "The list of tunes
 that congregation will join in is very
 small, and to the conclusion that ''it is a
 mistake to crowd hymn-book with new
 tunes, however good" We are persuaded
 that these observations touch the pith of
 the matter. 1t is the mistaken notion that there must be great variety in the music that brings congregational singing to such
 uniform grief. If you want the oongrega-
 tion to sing, and sing freely as well as al- together, stick to few familiar tunes.
 Familiar tunes, let Us add ,are always good
 ones. None other ever get familiar.
 Philadelphia Call The other day a re- porter saw a blacksmith examining an ax, ] from which he had been asked to remove a portion of the handle, which had been broken off, close to the iron. The wood could not be driven out, and as nails had been driven at the end it could not be
 bored out "What will do it P"' asked the reporter ''I'll burn it out" was the re- lply. "But you'll injure the temper of the
 steel, suggested the reporter. "Wen,
 maybe not, said the smith. He drove the
 cutting edge into the moist earth and built
 g fire around the projecting part. The
 wood became charred and was easily re-
 moved, while the tempered part of the ax
 sustained no injury. -.-.--.

Pennsylvania farmer, who had little time to spare during the drought, created seven artificial mounds to resemble graves, in field close to the. road. Sign boards were put up and labeled: Tramp No. l." "Tramp No. 2" and 80 on through, and when the work was finished the granger went up to the house with a grin on his face and said to his wife:
 '"That ere dodge will beat all the laws in Michigan to keep tramps away" Breakfast was not yet over next morn ing when there was knock on the kitchen door, and the farmer opened it to find five gaunt tramps standing in half circle.
 "You here !" he yelled as soon as he could credit his aenses Didn't you see those graves down by the road ?"
 "We did, sir, answered the oldest tramp for all. ''That's just why we stopped. We wanted to know if they came to their death by over- eating? ?"
